URL Rewriting with a ? symbol

I try to re-write a URL that have this form:

website.com/?q=home

to this form:

website.com/home

I cannot find.

I tried this form for example: RewriteRule ^\?q\=home$ /home [R=301,L]

Looks like the "?" or the "=" are posing problem? Can you help me?

Thank you

Everything after the ? is in the variable %{QUERY_STRING}.

To rewrite just the value home use:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=home$
RewriteRule ^ /home? [L,R=301]

To rewrite all q values to static URIs use:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R=301]

The last ? in the RewriteRule removes the query string from the target URI.
